ParaNorman Giveaway (In Theaters Now!)

The new 3D stop-motion comedy thriller from animation company LAIKA, reteaming the company with Focus Features after the groundbreaking Academy Award-nominated Coraline. ParaNorman is, following Coraline, the company’s second stop-motion animated feature to be made in 3D.

In ParaNorman, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.

Comments

After seeing ParaNorman, my son is extremely envious of Norman’s zombie paraphernalia. I can’t believe that the company made Norman’s slippers and his toothbrush real items! My son would be thrilled if I was able to give him these. He’s already started making us call him Norman…

animation is a huge part of my life. In fact, it’s my passion. I am a high school student aspiring to major in illustration and conceptual animation–so I can,one day, be a hand in artful animation project like ParaNorman.I could not have anticipated this production more.For months I have been following and sharing production art from the the crew and had thoroughly enjoyed the snippets of footage given to the fanbase showing steps in the film’s process.That is because,there is a mystical quality to stop motion features; it may be the fact that every object visible is tangible and had been tenderly constructed. So,to me, stop motion is almost inconceivable in it’s process.ParaNorman was by no means an exception. I had attended the opening night and was left in awe by the entirety of it.LAIKA is known for astonishing innovation;for instance,ParaNorman marked the the first stop-motion film to utilize a 3D color printer,which allows digital artist to construct nuanced and subtle facial expressions.ParaNorman was incredible,and it would be a tremendous honor if I could would be considered the winner of your giveaway.

I would LOVE to win this prize. I first heard about ParaNorman when I visited C2E2 in Chicago just this year. The second I saw the costumed characters of ‘Norman’ and some of the Undead Zombies, I instantly knew the creators from Laika were the ones promoting the film. I took a photo with the characters, got a cool ParaNorman bumper sticker and poster, and from that point, I began keeping track on all the updates on the movie. I followed ParaNorman on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Anything just to let me see the magic behind the making of the movie. Soon enough, it was finally the release date of the movie, and I saw it the same day at the local movie theater! As I had expected, the movie did not disappoint. From the unique non-stop animation, the engaging and funny storyline, and Norman’s awesome hair style, I was immersed. The beautiful colors and edgy look given to the characters and environments were top notch! Each character easily represented someone or some people we have or still do, deal with in our lives. They all seemed so real. That’s what I love about Laika’s awesome creations. They did a brilliant job on Coraline, and an even better job with ParaNorman. Last, but not least… THE SOUNDTRACK. It was BEAUTIFUL! I didn’t so much as enjoy it the first time seeing the movie, but the second time was just plain awesome. Animation is a big part of my life, so of course I’ve already seen the movie two times, and I suggest any of you to go out and see it as many times as possible. This movie was totally worth it. Anyway, I just wanted to say that these posters are really cool, and I’ve been entering contest after contest for the ParaNorman prize pack, and haven’t won anything, so I thought, “Heck, why not take a shot at this?!” ParaNorman was great, and this prize pack is really awesome and I’d love to win it and share it with my little sister! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win this prize pack!

I would love to win this prize for my daughter. Like mother like daughter, she’s really into horror movies and when I told her about ParaNorman she immediately wanted to see it. It was March though, so all that pent-up excitement for ParaNorman EXPLODED when we saw it in 3D on opening night. She LOVED the movie and she is a perfect match for this zombie slippers.

Winning this prize for my two girls because they are slowly collecting all of the ParaNorman stuff they can find. They’re huge fans. It all started with the special green 3D glasses… then the posters also given out at the theater. They can’t get enough of ParaNorman and I’m 100% behind them on this new obsession!

My sons are mad into zombies, they always play the “zombie” game with their friends when they have other boys and girls together

I knew I had to take them to see ParaNorman and they were surprised (so was I) by the friendly zombies! ParaNorman already has a profound impact on my kids who no longer just play mindless zombies, but “nice” zombies too now. I want to win this ParaNorman prize pack to surprise them on my oldest son’s birthday. It’d be a double whammy gift.

My sons and I loved ParaNorman, which we saw last weekend. The animation is beautiful and my sons enjoyed the adventure every step of the way. It’s another movie that we can bond with, and I know we’ll probably watch it many times once it comes out on video.

Proud to be a part of…
